As you get older do you (ignoring family commitments) need more or less money?

Im  50 and need less money than when I was 40. My needs are just fewer! Dating, drinking, being the big two.

 

How have other people found their costs to change over the years?

I certainly spend a lot less than when I got here, even discounting the first few months, when I was like a kid in a candy store.

As my finance is tied to the well being of the UK Pound, a few belt tightening options have gone hand in hand with its downs and downs.

Even so, I spend a lot less day to day, than I ever have before. Things always seem to come along though to wipe out whatever I do save up, from some disaster or another.

I play sports 5 days a week in the evenings, which is cheaper and healthier than the bar and keeps me out of them in the afternoons too. Can't play pissed.

As age creeps up, I foresee life getting more expensive again though.

It is about the same just where it is spent has moved around. New priorities list I quess.

At some stage a decent health insurance is really expensive. And the alternative without health insurance can be even worse.
